On Acts 2:4 –
“The great event was the Advent of the Holy Spirit for His indwelling among men. This is here expressed by the phrase, ‘filled with the Holy Ghost’ – and this was the case with each one of the whole assembly of Disciples; and we are to suppose that it was such a fulness of the Spirit as had been promised to them by Christ, as a Comforter and Advocate – Teacher – Leader into all truth – Reminder of Christ’s words – Reminder of the things of Christ – and permanent indwelling Agency, to abide with them for ever, (John 14 and 16.)”
“We cannot suppose, with some. That the miracle consisted in the multitude hearing the same language as if it were their own tongue, and so as to understand it; for that would have been a gift of ears and not of tongues.” – Melancthon W. Jacobus, Notes – Critical and Explanatory – on the Acts of the Apostles, 53-54.
